Synopsis

• This module configures and manages the attributes of prefix list on Cisco IOS.

Parameters

Parameter				Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary					A list of configurations for Prefix lists.
	afi string			Choices: ipv4 ipv6	The Address Family Indicator (AFI) for the prefix list.
	prefix_lists list / elements=dictionary				List of Prefix-lists.
		description string			Prefix-list specific description
		entries list / elements=dictionary			Prefix-lists supported params.
			action string	Choices: deny permit	Specify packets to be rejected or forwarded
			description string		Prefix-list specific description Description param at entries level is DEPRECATED New Description is introduced at prefix_lists level, please use the Description param defined at prefix_lists level instead of Description param at entries level, as at this level description option will get removed in a future release.
			ge integer		Minimum prefix length to be matched
			le integer		Maximum prefix length to be matched
			prefix string		IPv4 prefix <network>/<length>, e.g., A.B.C.D/nn IPv6 prefix <network>/<length>, e.g., X:X:X:X::X/<0-128>
			sequence integer		sequence number of an entry
		name string			Name of a prefix-list
running_config string					This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS device by executing the command sh bgp. The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into Ansible structured data as per the resource module's argspec and the value is then returned in the parsed key within the result.
state string				Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted gathered parsed rendered	The state the configuration should be left in The states merged is the default state which merges the want and have config, but for Prefix-List module as the IOS platform doesn't allow update of Prefix-List over an pre-existing Prefix-List, same way Prefix-Lists resource module will error out for respective scenario and only addition of new Prefix-List over new sequence will be allowed with merge state. The states rendered, gathered and parsed does not perform any change on the device. The state rendered will transform the configuration in config option to platform specific CLI commands which will be returned in the rendered key within the result. For state rendered active connection to remote host is not required. The state gathered will fetch the running configuration from device and transform it into structured data in the format as per the resource module argspec and the value is returned in the gathered key within the result. The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into JSON format as per the resource module parameters and the value is returned in the parsed key within the result. The value of running_config option should be the same format as the output of command sh running-config | section ^ip prefix-list|^ipv6 prefix-list executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required.

Notes

Note

• Tested against Cisco IOSXE Version 17.3 on CML.
• This module works with connection network_cli. See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_ios.html
